Obama names Rahm Emanuel COS

Sorry if it's been posted. It's just breaking, I think, that he accepted.

Re: Obama names Rahm Emanuel COS

  • Ohhhhh, Chief of Staff!  I had to google his name to figure it out.

     

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I heard this too.  I don't know much about him (or even much about what the COS does), but the little bit I've heard is that it's a good, strategic pick.

    I suspect across America, the racists are probably going nuts, as I believe RE is Muslim.

  • Don't worry bb, I had to as well.
    Slainte!
    my read shelf:
    Jenni (jenniloveselvis)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • Actually, I believe he's Jewish.

  • It is a good pick.  He's been fantastic in the House leadership and he'll be missed, but he'll be really good as COS.

    I just looked it up.  You are right.  Whoops.  I am getting him confused with Keith Ellison.  For some reason I thought Ellison was from Illinois.

  • He is an observant Jew and I am THRILLED!

     

    Its the highest position a Jewish person has held in the government!!

     

    and I can gloat to my parents that Obama is actually a friend to the Jews and isnt going to destroy Israel after all... what Chief of Staff would let that happen???

     

    SO SO HAPPY.
